Revolution


I dream

of a government that places health over profit;

of a government that distresses for the preservation and longevity of the human race;

of a government that operates by the people and for the people

 

Of the United States of America, land of the free and home of the brave.

 

I protest

genetically engineered foods and crops;

hormone-and-steroid injected cattle and livestock;

lack of mandatory nutrition labeling for such product

 

That cluster our supermarket shelves and home pantries.

 

I wish

to flood communities with desire of revolution and refusal;

to stray from greed and remain humane;

to build a nation founded upon health and equal prosperity for all.


For this change is unavoidable.
